We had some fun times from first grade, through Cub Scouts (Mrs. Matthews our Den Mother), high school, and afterward. You won't be forgotten, Randy.

So long "Hawk".

I pray God will Bless each of you in this time of sorrow. I have not see Randy since the day of graduation I don't think, but have thought of my class mates very often, and each time it was with a smile for all the good times we had in school. Randy was a great person I am proud to have known him.
My deepest regrets to each of you for the loving son, brother you have lost.
Again May God Bless each of you.

Louise,
You and Jim and your boys were among the first families I met when I married and moved to Big Lake. I will never forget all the fun I had spending time with you on a Saturday watching you decorate wedding cakes and listening to all the laughing from the boys and how they would come into the kitchen area where you were working on the cake just to tease you, and you always had time to laugh with them and give them a hug. I learned so much about being a parent from you.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. May you find peace in God's love.

Louise,
Please know that you are in my heart and sending prayers of peace for you. As you know, Randy and I were friends at RCHS as band mates. He was most definitely the "heart beat" of the band with his big bass drum and provided most of the giggles and laughs on band bus to and from the football games. What great fun and fond memories I have because of his wit, personality, and love of the perfectly executed practical joke (all inherited from his father!). This is a sad time, but take comfort in knowing that he will remain in so many hearts forever as he was our blessed friend.

Our sincere sympathies to the entire Matthews family. Some of our fondest memories of growing up in Big Lake were made with Jimmy, Louise, and the Matthews boys. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. Much love to you all from the Ethridge girls.

I met Randy many years ago through friends in Midland. He was the nicest guy in the world. I ran into him occassionally, and he always had a smile on his face. He will be missed.

When I lived in Big Lake from 1984 thru 1987, I rented a space from Jimmy behind the courthouse. My last name at that time was Layman. I just wanted to say I am so sorry for your loss and my prayers and thoughts are with you. I never had the honor of meeting Randy but I did know Jimmy and Louise. May God hold you uo at this time with his strength. God Bless each of you.
